Good reviews
Overall 4.8
Having wifi available in every building is so nice. The food is amazing now and there's always multiple options. They hire some of the best professors out there! All extremely qualified in their fields and really care about the students. Small class sizes mean you get the one on one attention you need and really have a chance to stand out on campus

People hate on the small town but its so nice to have a picturesque beautiful campus with lots of space and none of the downsides to a busy city. The food has majorly improved and Chef Bob is a creative genius. Literally endless opportunities to get involved and experience new things. Public Safety does an amazing job of making everyone feel safe.

Great school!

Rugby team is elite. Professors are almost all amazing teachers and people. Food is great somedays, and other days you would rather not eat. The community at Nichols is so close and like a second family.

Nichols has a scenic campus and facilities, and great professors. The only real downside is there's not much to do on campus. Luckily I live at home and commute, but you're about a half hour from Worcester, and an hour from Boston, Springfield, Worcester, and Providence. Not much to do in Dudley, Oxford, Webster, Southbridge, Charlton, or Auburn.

Bad reviews
Overall 1.4
Campus is incredibly boring with a lot of fake people. Professors never show up to class and sometimes don't even tell you if they cancelled class. The campus is in the middle of nowhere and unless you smoke weed you're not making any friends
Overall 1.7
This school is in a terrible location and there's nothing to do. Professors don't show up to class and people are fake. Once it gets dark people that drive through the school try to pick you up and get your attention so I never felt safe walking alone at night. I ended up transferring because this school sucked.
